曰我主歟、願咎歸於我、容進一詞、請聽婢言。拿八秉性甚厲、人符其名、所行不端、我主勿以為意、昔我主所遣之少者、婢不及見。爾欲流人血、以伸己冤、耶和華止爾、我指耶和華以誓、亦指爾生命以誓、願爾敵、及凡欲害爾者、俱如拿八。婢以禮物呈於我主、願爾執事受焉。宥我罪戾、我知耶和華將祐我主、克昌厥後、我主緣耶和華戰時、必拯爾於患難。設有追襲爾、欲害爾命者、願我主之命、為爾上帝耶和華所保、恆與生者偕、敵之生命、其喪甚速、如以繩發石。昔耶和華曾許我主、必加善視、越至後日、踐其前言、立我主為以色列君。當斯時、我主必追憶今日之事、不伸己冤、不流無辜之血、心不窒礙、毫無遺憾。我主既蒙耶和華善待、則垂念爾婢。大闢曰、以色列族之上帝耶和華、今日遣爾迎我、當頌美之。爾今日勸我、不流血、不伸冤、願得純嘏。以色列族之上帝耶和華、使我無加害於爾、我指上帝而誓、如爾不速來晉接、則拿八所有、我必攻毀、至於明晨、不遺一男。大闢受饋曰、我聽爾言、許爾所求、爾可安然以歸。亞庇該至拿八所、見其設盛饌、可儗侯王、拿八醉甚、中心喜悅、是夕事無鉅細、俱不以告。詰朝拿八宿酲已解、其妻以實告之、拿八喪膽、屹焉如石。越十日、耶和華擊拿八遂死。大闢聞拿八死、則曰、耶和華不許其僕行惡、我見辱於拿八、耶和華伸我冤、以報其惡、當頌美焉。大闢遣人語亞庇該、欲娶為室。大闢之僕至加密、見亞庇該、告曰、大闢欲娶爾為妻、遣我來迓。亞庇該俯伏於地、曰、容婢供役、濯主僕之足。速與乘驢、五女相從、偕大闢之使以往、為大闢妻。大闢先娶耶斯烈地之女亞希暖、至是與亞庇該、俱為其妻、掃羅之女米甲、曾為大闢所娶、其後掃羅使之改適伽林人拉億子八氐。
